For general-purpose applications in IBM Cloud, the recommendedIOPS tierwhen provisioning10 TB of Block Storage for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)is3 IOPS/GB. This IOPS tier provides a balanced level of performance suitable for a wide range of general-purpose workloads, ensuring that the application can handle typical storage and performance requirements without unnecessary over-provisioning or cost.
The 3 IOPS/GB tier is designed to provide a reasonable level of input/output operations per second (IOPS) for general-purpose applications, such as web hosting, database hosting, or development workloads that do not require high-performance storage.
For more performance-critical or latency-sensitive applications, you might choose a higher IOPS tier (such as 5 or 10 IOPS/GB), but for general-purpose workloads, 3 IOPS/GB offers an optimal balance between cost and performance.
